GE Countertop Microwave Oven, Compact 0.7 Cubic Ft., 700-watt Capacity, 6 Auto Cooking Settings, Kitchen Essentials for the Countertop, Dorm Room or Apartment, Stainless Steel

I needed a microwave with very specific dimensions as I was putting it into one of my cabinets. It couldn’t surpass 13 inches deep and it had to have a silent mode and it had to shut very quietly so my neighbors couldn’t hear it. It turns out that most compact microwaves aren’t made that wellI first bought Commercial Chef. I thought it was really cute, but it felt a little cheap and it didn’t have a silent mode. Closing it was very loud too. That silent mode was very important to me.I then bought Comfee. I loved how it looked, and I loved how it closed very very quiet quietly. It didn’t have a silent mode and the biggest problem was that it got so wet inside. Literally microwaving anything would make it soaking wet inside. It also had a weird child lock that you couldn’t deactivate.GE was about $40 more than the other ones, but I was already exhausted from having to return to and decided to try one more time. I had GE before but not for a compact microwave. It ended up being perfect. Not only did it fit perfectly, but it was silent, and it had a child lock that you could deactivate. It doesn’t close quietly unless you learn to close it quietly. I figured out a way to push the button and close it where it’s practically silent when you close it. The best part was that it’s very dry inside. It has an internal fan and it’s just so much better Made than the other ones.I would 100% recommend this microwave if you need a compact microwave. I think it’s worth the extra money and it’ll last a lot longer

After many years of service, my GE SpaceMaker II microwave needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, the line has been discontinued by GE. They offer one model that's close to the dimensions, but the size would not work well for the space I have (built-in shelf). While there are lots of compact microwaves, the issue is the depth -- most are too deep to fit on a wall shelf.This has the proper depth for sitting on a shelf without issue provided that you use a flat pig-tail adapter so that the plug doesn't jut out and prevent the microwave from sitting close to the wall. The width is less than the nearly 24 inches of the SpaceMaker, but I filled the empty shelf space with a storage cannister that I found that matches the microwave.The microwave itself is a basic model that has few bells and whistles. I only use the microwave to reheat leftovers, and this does a fine job of that. Heating is even, and the 700W, while low powered compared with larger microwaves, gets the job done just fine. The controls are easy to use and are very similar to the SpaceMaker controls, which was a plus for me. The fit and finish are much better than other compact microwaves I looked at. It will fit a full-size dinner plate without issue.It's not a perfect replacement for the SpaceMaker, but it's a workable one. It provides good functionality as a basic compact microwave, looks much nicer than you would expect for the price point, and is easy to use. A very good value for the price, especially if you can catch it on a price dip. Five stars.

I recently purchased the Countertop Microwave Oven, and overall, I think it's a decent appliance for those who have limited counter space. As someone who lives in a small apartment, I appreciate how compact it is, as it doesn't take up too much room on my countertop. Plus, it's great for reheating basic foods like leftovers, soups, and frozen dinners.However, I do have a few complaints about this microwave. Firstly, I don't think it has enough power. It takes longer to cook or reheat compared to other microwaves I have used in the past. I wish it had at least 1000-1200 watts of power to make the cooking process faster. But, I also understand that if it had more power, the physical size of the oven would be bigger.Despite this issue, the microwave functions like any other microwave oven. It has a built-in light, and a rotating, removable, washable glass turntable to keep your food evenly cooked or warmed. It's convenient to use, and I appreciate that it's easy to clean.Overall, I think this Countertop Microwave Oven is a good option for those who are looking for an appliance that won't take up too much counter space and is great for small reheats. However, if you're looking for a microwave that has more power and can cook or reheat food faster, you may want to consider something else.

I made this purchase concerned about the small size but I needed the shallow depth because it sits in an overhead cabinet nook. Which used to sit a very large GE profile perfectly. Unfortunately they stopped making the shallow depth profile in a plain regular microwave, for some reason they more than triple the price and added wi-Fi, why does a microwave need Wi-Fi? So I purchase this little guy put it in the large opening and absolutely love it. The excess Space in the opening I purchased a small shelf and use that space for my coffee pot and K cups because the microwave sits above my coffee nook. I’m going to make sure I keep up with the cleaning because I saw a few reviews where people mentioned rust inside. For me this microwave works fine because basically I only heat up soup or reheat coffee that is about the most use I give my microwave anymore since I purchased an awesome air fryer that does everything but wash dishes. I saw complaints about the power being not strong enough, but I have found that I use the same power levels as I used to use on my big GE profile to cook soups and heat coffee, this may be because my old profile lost power over the 20 years that I owned it. I also discovered that you can fit a full 11 inch plate inside this little guy if you want to reheat a plate of food, just need to tilt the plate on a small angle fits inside with plenty of room. I would think this microwave because of the small footprint would be fantastic for a college dorm set up. Another happy purchase.
